This blog is mainly about the spectacular train wreck at The Sacramento Bee and its parent company, the McClatchy Company. But I also post about current events, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, politics, anything else that grabs my attention. Take a look around this blog, hope you enjoy it.

McClatchy reported their 3rd quarter earnings on Oct 21st if I remember right. Net income down 16% for the quarter and off about 100 million from the previous year. (If that is the numbers you speak of) Their 4th quarter earnings will be in mid December.

They do track their performance on a monthy basis, however, by law (or regulation) publicly traded companies are only required to disclose quarterly reports. Often though companies will disclose that information upon request or even during questions and answers periods at conference calls.

Don't expect McClatchy to be one of them though. Lost advertising and subscriptions in October, November and Dec are going to be devastating. Especially when compared to the previous year at the same time. McClatchy is far from an honest, up front company to begin with, so the last thing they will be doing is reporting something that they don't absolutely have too.

What happens when McClatchy closes down a production Dept.?WASTE! One of their plants moved the printing else where and they shut down the garage and press and mail rooms and threw out tons of stuff. Office furniture, file cabinets, equipment, building material etc. Right into the dumpster! Just more waste.When I started there 20 years ago it was a good company. Good working conditions, good pay and benefits. Up to the end I enjoyed the job I had there. unlike 1:39 PM it was the best job I ever had.
